Is it like a sequel or a soft reboot or what? I've heard the first one is bad and don't want to watch it, but I've heard the new one is good and do want to watch it.

It's a soft reboot. No need to watch the first one.

If you have a general idea of what they do, and who Harley Quinn is you're fine. There might be one or two in jokes between Harley and another character that you'll miss out on.

No.

I saw both, but remember very little of the first one, and thoroughly enjoyed the second one.

You definitely do not need to see Suicide Squad to enjoy The Suicide Squad.

Watching the first will benefit you in getting some references and understanding who a few of the characters are, but it's not strictly necessary.

Yes

The first Suicide Squad had some pretty weak moments with Joker and the villain, but "The Suicide Squad" sequel leans heavily on the chemistry from the first film. I also recommend watching the Adventures of Harley & the Birds of Prey movie in-between the other two, as that is the order of release, and will give you a much more realistic idea of where they're at with the characters, plus the comprehensive Suicide Squad experience. There's some good stuff there.

I recommend specifically not watching Suicide Squad and just watch The Suicide Squad and definitely watch The Suicide Squad before watching Peacemaker unless you want to be spoiled on the whole movie.

This is basically not true. Especially the chemistry part. You really don't need to see Suicide Squad.

No, the second movie doesn't even reference the first one. The second movie takes a more comedic take on the Suicide Squad, which is the smartest move for DC to take for a property like that.

After you're done watching the second movie, there's another show called "Peacemaker" on HBO Max that is a continuation of it and it's just as awesome.

Pretty much all you need to know is that Harley, Rick Flag and Boomerang know eachother from the first movie. That's literally it.

And one of them ends up dying like 5 minutes in.

Each episode is basically another movie like fuck that shit is long

It references the connections btwn the few characters who return, and that they did something together before. It just doesn't reference the plot of the first one.

well it does help appreciate the James Gunn version even more specially when you see how much it shits on the first one...

but frankly, you can go and watch it without seeing the 2016 one. there's little to no connection other than some of the characters and actors from the first one being re-used!

Oh yeah Harley Quinn, Rick Flag, and Boomerang. Too bad one of the best the dust really fast and the other gets killed off.

This is the correct answer. Watch the first first one so that the second first one seems like a masterpiece in comparison.

Tough to say how it might affect your enjoyment of The Suicide Squad more but you will enjoy your life in general more if you don't watch Suicide Squad.
